| - "The Bite Means its Okay to Eat" is the motto at this paleteria. Consequently, the mold used for making these delectable popsicles has what appears to be a bite mark. Going in I did not know this, and was aghast when I noticed that someone had taken a bite out of not one but all of my paletas!
What sets this wonderful spot apart from ice cream parlors - is not just ice cream on a stick. The ice cream is handmade, and only local and seasonal ingredients are used to guarantee the utmost in freshness. Spices are ground, no preservatives are used, and it's virtually like enjoying a homemade treat.
Favorites:
Chocolate: blend of chocolate with spices. Ever had Mexican chocolate? Decadent, creamy gourmet chocolate with vanilla, cinnamon, and a dash of chile? This is the ice cream version, and so gorgeous I could not devour it fast enough.
Platano: Bananas foster, complete with homemade caramel and Anejo Rum. Chunky bananas, blended with the sweet and spicy flavors of the rum and caramel - absolutely phenomenal!
Zarzamora: Blackberry and Lavender. Aromatic, tangy and sweet, calming, and just beautiful.
Fresa Con Crema: Strawberries and Cream. Tasted like I had whipped up a batch of strawberries with fresh whipped cream and sugar. Superb!
I recommend this as a wonderful stop after dinner for dessert. There is plenty of seating inside and out, to sit back and relax and enjoy the flavor explosion.
